You Really Should Watch John McCain Do the Robot

I’ll admit that, when news broke of Chris Christie and John McCain “dancing” in the Hamptons, I was largely uninterested. Given the situation in Ferguson, a crumbling cease-fire between Israel and Palestine, and the constant stream of horrible news from West Africa, who could be bothered about a couple of semi-controversial American politicians shaking their stuff at a charity event?

But then I saw the video, and, my friends, you really should just treat yourself to this 17-second break from the news cycle. McCain’s robot looks like it’s trying incredibly hard to impress Rosie the robot maid from The Jetsons. “It’s always the ones you don’t expect,” Jamie Foxxtold the New York Post after the Saturday event. “Republicans love to dance in the Hamptons.” Indeed.
